Dell XPS 8500 Repair

The Dell XPS 8500 was released in 2013 and was sold as a high-end consumer desktop by Dell. It has been superseded by multiple replacement systems and is long discontinued.

To identify your system as an XPS 8500, the model is located on the I/O shield on the back of the system. In addition, the model number can also be verified with the service tag.

• Top case cover
  • COA location for Windows 7 systems
• On the back of the chassis (Code 128 barcode)

Note: These systems were sold with multiple configuration options (CTO/Preconfigured). As such, providing factory specifications is not practical. The factory configuration can be found under System configuration/Original configuration on the Dell Support website.

• Processor: LGA 1155 Core i3/5/7 Ivy Bridge (3XXX)
• Memory: 8-32GB
  • Maximum supported memory:
    • Dell official/Core i5: 16GB
    • Unofficial (i7 systems only): 32GB
      • NOTE: THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY DELL. Do this at your own risk!
• Graphics: Dedicated or Integrated.
  • Typically dedicated.
    • Dedicated video systems can be identified by the port covers over the motherboard video connectors or a POST message stopping the boot process.
    • In order to use the onboard graphics, the card must be removed. The system will not POST with a GPU installed while using onboard graphics.
• Wireless: Not available on all systems from the factory. Available as an option.
  • The page author's system came with an ath9k based DW1703 installed. If the system comes with a low quality card or the footprint and antenna hardware, it can be added later on.
• Hard drive: Check system specifications.
  • Typically ranges from 1-2TB on higher spec systems or 500GB for base models.
• Optical drive: SATA DVD±R Recorder (DVD/CD burning compatibility).
  • Can be upgraded to a Blu-Ray drive if this is not sufficient.
